A field archaeologist claimed to have discovered a truncated bastle here in 1984. Five years later it was gone, and the farmer said that the oldest building on his property was the C18 farmhouse. (Dodds 1999)
Truncated bastle, side wall 0.9m, remains of first floor door, etc. (Ryder 1984).
The remains of the bastle at Hollin Close are incorporated in an outbuilding to the north west of the farmhouse. Only the western half of the bastle survives; remaining features are the 'long' quoins, walls 0.85m-0.9m thick, and the western jamb of the first floor door, close to the present east end of the wall. Adjoining the west end of the bastle is a late 17th or 18th century building (heightened in the 19th century) with a chamfered doorway (Ryder 1994-5). (Northumberland HER)
